This CNN article featuring Accenture on IG is intended a different audience. I don’t think exec level below has that option to “consolidate travel”. Smells like a disguised ad selling WLB...

When any firm goes over the top to sell how good their WLB culture is, its always a red flag for me.

it literally says what you're saying in the caption. Execs have advantages over other employees.

After a suicide in my immediate family, I begged for a local project so I could support my family and get therapy. The company couldn’t care less. I’m a “resource”, not a person. They should be honest and admit WLB doesn’t exist - don’t lie and treat people so inhumanly

I was a Sr. Manager at ACN, and I begged and begged to work local or to dramatically limit my travel. My MDs kept telling me that the next project would be local...for 3 projects in a row.

I finally gave up because staffing strategy is always going to be set at the MD/project level and never at the Practice/National level, and MDs don't care about limiting travel aa long as you can deliver and sell.

Off lately , Accenture MD level designations are resources that are shipped en MASSE from India / Philippines/ other regions to support the local organizations in US grow and scale ( instead of hiring ) . These folks can speak about WLB as they personally experienced hellish experience oversees.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
